Q

What is another name for a negative ion?

A

Anion

18
Q

What ions are tested for in tests for negative ions?

A 
Carbonate
Sulfate
Chloride
Bromide
Iodide
19
Q

What is the test and the result for carbonate ions?

A

Add hydrochloric acid

It fizzes giving off CO2 (use limewater to check)

20
Q

What is the test and the result for sulfate ions?

A

Add hydrochloric acid then barium chloride solution

A white precipitate is formed

21
Q

What is the test and the result for chloride, bromide and iodide?

A

Add nitric acid then silver nitrate

Chloride - White precipitate
Bromide - Cream precipitate
Iodide - Yellow precipitate

22
Q

What does Aluminium do?

A

The only precipitate that dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide solution

23
Q

What is titration used for?

A

A neutralisation reaction
Acid + alkali -> salt + water

The volumes of the solutions that react exactly can be found

24
Q

What is the method for titration?

A

Fill the burette with acid to the zero mark
Measure the alkali using a pipette then put into a conical flask
Add 3-4 drops of universal indicator to the alkali (pink colour)
Add the acid a few drops at a time until the solution is almost colourless
Drop-wise add 1 at a time until solution is completely colourless
Record the volume of acid needed for neutralisation (end point reached)
Repeat and take average result

25
Q

In titration calculations what is the equation?

A

Moles = concentration x volume

Moles: mol
Concentration: mol/dm3
Volume: dm3

26
Q

How do you convert to decimetres?

A

Cm3 divided by 1000

27
Q

At neutralisation…

A

Moles of acids are equal to moles of alkali

28
Q

In chemical analysis what is a qualitative method?

A

Finds out if a substance is in a sample

29
Q

In chemical analysis what is a quantitive method?

A

Finds out how much of a substance is in a sample

30
Q

What are the advantages of instrumental methods?

A

Quick
Accurate
Only a small sample size needed

31
Q

What are the disadvantages of instrumental methods?

A

High equipment cost
Needs frequent calibration
Specialist knowledge needed to operate

32
Q

What are just qualitative methods?

A

Mass spectrometry- provides RFM
Atomic absorption spectrometry - absorbs light to reveal the energies needed to excite an electron to another energy level

33
Q

What are qualitative and quantitive methods?

A

Gas chromatography - separates a mixture of components into individual components
Infra-red spectrometry - identifies particular covalent bonds in a molecule
